Molecular mechanism of dissolvable metal nanoparticles-enhanced CO2 fixation by algae : Metal-chlorophyll synthesis
Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..
Algae-driven photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a promising strategy to mitigate global climate changes and energy crises. Yet, the presence of metal nanoparticles (NPs), particularly dissolvable NPs, in aquatic ecosystems introduces new complexities due to their tendency to release metal ions that may perturb metabolic processes related to algal CO2 fixation. This study selected six representative metal NPs (Fe3O4, ZnO, CuO, NiO, MgO, and Ag) to investigate their impacts on CO2 fixation by algae (Chlorella vulgaris). We discovered an intriguing phenomenon that bivalent metal ions released from the metal NPs, especially from ZnO NPs, substituted Mg2+ within the porphyrin ring. This interaction led to 81.8% and 76.1% increases in Zinc-chlorophyll and Magnesium-chlorophyll contents within algal cells at 0.01 mM ZnO NPs, respectively. Integrating metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses revealed that ZnO NPs mainly promoted the photosynthesis-antenna protein pathway, porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism, and carbon fixation pathway, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of Zn2+ substitution in light harvesting and energy transfer for CO2 fixation. Ultimately, the genes encoding Rubisco large subunit (rbcL) responsible for CO2 fixation were upregulated to 2.60-fold, resulting in a 76.3% increase in carbon fixation capacity. Similar upregulations of rbcL expression (1.13-fold) and carbon fixation capacity (76.1%) were observed in algal cells even at 0.001 mM ZnO NPs, accompanied by valuable lipid accumulation. This study offers novel insights into the molecular mechanism underlying NPs on CO2 fixation by algae and potentially introduces strategies for global carbon sequestration.
